Hat's off to you for your positive attitude!

...And of course you should be happy, you've lost weight and learned about eating in a way that's good and right for your body.

And here are more reasons to be happy and proud:

--When was the last time that you entered into a New Year losing weight rather than gaining?

--Think about how much more weight you would have gained had it not been for your decision to begin LCing 5 months ago.

--You've got the wonderful members of this forum on your side!

Just as you say, slow and steady wins the race.

Continued good health to you in the coming year.

Donald
